TSV 1860 Munich was eliminated from the DFB Cup after a big fight against Karlsruher SC.

The game is decided by a penalty kick.

Munich

– Four minutes of overtime, a last bad pass from substitute Quirin Moll, a last yellow foul from Semi Belkahia – then the cup season was over for TSV 1860. It was 0:1 (0:0) in front of Giesinger Geisterkulisse against Karlsruher SC. A hand penalty (69.) caused by Fabian Greilinger and converted by Marvin Wanitzek was enough for the Badeners to reach the quarter-finals on 1./2. March.

After a strong first half of the lions and a significant drop in performance after the break, the victory was okay for the physically stronger second division team.

The “awesome January” proclaimed by 1860 trainer Michael Köllner has received its first setback.

"I'm already disappointed.

I think we were equal," said Köllner: "We played a great first half, but missed taking the lead."

TSV 1860: No class difference in the first round

Instead of the lions, the people of Karlsruhe are allowed to collect the good one million euros from the DFB bonus pot.

The question of a winter transfer should have been settled for 1860. As of now, the professional budget for the new season will shrink from 4.7 million euros to three million euros without further financial injections from investor Hasan Ismaik.

challenging times.

Small consolation: At least in the first round, no class difference could be determined against the second division tenth.

A special greeting had arrived from Großaspach before kick-off.

Ex-captain Sascha Mölders reported via Sky: “Guys, now the third second division team will have to believe in KSC.

I keep my fingers crossed!”

TSV 1860: Bär and Greilinger miss the lead

It shouldn't be enough.

The sixties, with Erik Tallig in the starting XI for the injured Marius Willsch, initially had a lot more of the game.

In a 3-4-1-2 with Richard Neudecker behind the double lead Lex/Bär, the team consistently implemented their midfield pressing.

Again and again, after winning the ball, Baer had the first chance - his shot from 18 meters flew over the right corner of the cross (10th).

Unlucky of the evening: Fabian Greilinger, who fought exemplary, but later owed the game-winning penalty.

Greilinger's position three minutes later was more promising.

The Bavarian was able to move towards the goal via the left wing, the left-footed shot on the short corner was too unplaced.

Lex and Neudecker had more chances, with the Karlsruhers it was only a set piece before the break that caused danger.

Hiller fended off Heise's powerful free-kick with a flight (40').

The guests drew the right conclusions from the first 45 minutes, after the change they were much more secure in passing and stronger in tackles, while the lions hardly got anything together.

Fabian Schleusener tested Hiller with a flick (63 '), the next dangerous action led to 0:1.

Greilinger's arm hit Greilinger when he tried to tackle a cross from Thiede, referee Petersen awarded a penalty.

Wanitzek sent Hiller into the wrong corner, giving the visitors the lead a good 20 minutes before the end.

The big rearing of the lions did not happen.

Tallig missed the best chance to equalize, failed from ten meters at the KSC keeper (76th), Steinhart thundered the ball into the safety fence in added time.

That's it for the DFB Cup.

It continues with the league derby on Saturday in the Olympic Stadium against Türkgücü (2 p.m., BR).

Without the yellow banned Neudecker.

And with fresh energy?
